This Cavalier 35 is unique in having been fitted out by a master shipwright as his own yacht, but then being sold on completion to the owners who had her before I bought her 1 year ago. Since owning, it has been a very comfortable liveaboard cruiser and has given me plenty of enjoyment sailing around Morton Bay. As you would expect the fit out and joinery is stunning, and it's been beautifully maintained.
The cockpit is open with a single wheel and there is a good sized varnished teak cockpit table that fits quickly and easily for entertaining. There's a huge cockpit locker to port, a smaller one to starboard and another locker aft of the wheel pedestal, as well as two gas lockers and a transom shower.
Down below the quality of the finish throughout is evident immediately. The galley is to starboard with a navigation bench under which is a large Isotherm fridge. The saloon has a bench seat to port and dinette to starboard and the owners cabin forward is roomy with good floor space and lockers.
Aft to starboard there is a generous single berth, while the head to port incorporates a shower and the toilet is mounted on a varnished teak plinth with a varnished teak lid!
